“This lyrical, endlessly inventive book will appeal equally to lovers of history, literature, and metatextual fantasy.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review) Through a combination of quotes from the stories originally penned by the Brontës, biographical information about them, and Greenberg’s vivid comic book illustrations, readers will find themselves enraptured by this fascinating imaginary world. Within Glass Town the siblings experienced love, friendship, war, triumph, and heartbreak. This world and its cast of characters would come to be the Brontës’ escape from the realities of their lives. It is in response to this loss that the four remaining Brontë children set pen to paper and created the fictional world that became known as Glass Town. The story begins in 1825, with the deaths of Maria and Elizabeth, the eldest siblings. Glass Town is an original graphic novel by Isabel Greenberg that encompasses the eccentric childhoods of the four Brontë children-Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne. A graphic novel about the Brontë siblings and their inventive childhood from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Encyclopedia of Early Earth.
